Install Ubuntu 17.04 on Windows 10/Oracle VirtualBox

This video show how to install Install Ubuntu 17.04 on Windows 10 with Oracle VirtualBox 5.1. Basically, the steps is very straightforward.

But...after setup, I cannot google in the browser. And it was found some sites can be reached, some sites cannot. Even cannot run apt-get update. After some searching, I found it's related to DNSSEC in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.

Install Guest Addition:
The Guest Additions are designed to be installed inside a virtual machine after the guest operating system has been installed. They consist of device drivers and system applications that optimize the guest operating system for better performance and usability. (https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html)
